symbolic link to a volume?

[randomlinh]

I'm trying to make a symbolic link that would reside in a users home directory, and it'd take them to the root of another drive on the system.

why? I have someone sftp'ing, and want to avoid having to go up to the parent directory, then have to navigate to the other drive. trying to make this as simple and transparent to the end user.

I can create links to other directories no problem, but when I try to go to a different drive, I have no clue what to do. any takers?

Does the volume come up in ~/Volumes area? If it is, just create a symbolic link to it in the Volumes drive.

Go into System Profiler & look at the proper bus (ATA, SATA) where the other drive is connected.
For example, on my MacBook Pro, the internal hard drive is on SATA ... BSD Name: disk0s2
